   I'm usually not an airhead about stuff like this but I just don't understand what do do with the .po / .mo files!! I want to translate my WP files to swedish, how on earth do I do that?
   I've tried to read the http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=WordPressLocalization but don't get any smarter..
   If a kind soul would explain it to me I would be so thankful..

   # Download the .mo file for your language. As you probably noticed the naming convention of the .mo files is based on the ISO-639 language code (e.g. pt for Portuguese) followed by the ISO-3166 country code (e.g. _PT for Portugal or _BR for Brazil). So if you see more language files for your language, select the one specific for your country.
   # Open your config.php file in a text editor (remember: never use word processors like MS Word for editing the files!) and find this around line 15: define ('WPLANG', '');
   Edit this line according to the .mo file you've just downloaded, e.g. for the Portuguese spoken in Brazil you must add: define ('WPLANG', 'pt_BR');
   Save it.
   # Go to your installed WordPress (i.e. your server or your hosted account) and create a directory (folder) in your /wp-includes directory and name it /languages. Upload the .mo file there.
   # Don't forget to upload the modified config.php file into the WordPress root directory.
   # Open your browser and go to your WordPress URI (address). It should display in the newly installed language.
   # Additionally you can download the .po file and customize/personalize the translation, but at the end you need to save it and create a new .mo file.
   Note. If there was an error in the steps above or you did not specified the correct langauge WordPress will default back to English.

   If you want to edit the translations and you're on a mac, there may be some trouble with swedish characters. (But there's solutions.)

   Any clues as to why I get Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/alltid/public_html/wp-includes/streams.php on line 107 when I try this?

   Jadler,
   your problem doesn't really fit in this thread which is about the Swedish version. Actually it is related to l10n.
   See if this fix works for you:

   I've found it on the Wiki: http://wiki.wordpress.org/WordPressLocalization
   How many do you want? you need only 1 (one) .mo file per language :)

    I found the reason. I had started to translate the templates by hand, modifying index.php, before I installed the mo-file. The i18n module could not find the expected string and could not handle this.

    Is there any localization for 1.5 Strayhorn out in Swedish?
